Subject: The avant garde v. the lyrical
In a postgraduate student's work, I've recently seen "avant-garde aesthetics" posited in opposition to poems that are "intensely lyrical" in contemporary American poetry and would be glad to hear others' thoughts. My own first response was the recollection of numerous "intensely lyrical" poets among Britain's "avant garde," if it can be so called. What say you?
Yours,
Carrie
